I would *never* consider putting something in my eye that had not been tested by a reputable medical authority. Consider the possible consequences of dropping an unknown chemical from an unknown source into your eyes. |

according tho this website the main chemical in that eye drop is Methylene Blue which accordin to a search: May cause skin and eye irritation. Absorption into the body may lead to formation of methemoglobin, which in sufficient concentration causes cyanosis. Possible delayed onset = 2 to 4 hrs. Exposure can cause stomach pains, vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, dizziness, headache. Therh is also no mention of FDA approval and the website does not look very professional. Note the pictures the post of the eye changing color, it looks like the exact same picture but the color has been modified in photoshop. Especially note how the eyelashes are in the exact same position, showing that they didn not take multiple pictures, just modified the first image. This website screams "scam" They don't even provide a phone number or physicall address. Plus the price is horrendous you could buy contacts that cost way less. |

I identified the owner of the website, with contact information, using Whois. You might want to try and call the number found there. If it's disconnected that's a good sign it's a scam. Anyway, I agree with the others...why even risk it? |

This is a total BS product, first line reads: Eye color is determined by the amount of pigment in the iris of the human eye. Originally, without taking iridial pigment into account, a human eye would appear a clear light blue. This is because the back of the eye refracts light entering it in a similar way to the way the sky does, making the light being refracted out of it appear a clear light blue. Urm no Mr. scammer it is the genes for eye color are determine by the amount of melanin produced by the body (genetics) this also determines your skin color. Oh and the light reflected from your retina is red. This is most evident when taking a photo with a flash, and produces "red eye" photos. Most eyes in babies start blue/grey then you body produces melanin then your true eye color becomes evident. And those without melanin are albino. So to truely change your genetic eye color, you would have to change a gene or stop your body from producing melanin. A genetic alteration is what causes "not normal" eye color compaired to melanin levels. Anyhow, enough ranting, and you couldn't pay ME $2000 to take that stuff! BTW as metioned above, you can buy contacts with 0 correction, if thats what you want to do. CIOU X |
